Latest
Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Equity card! Disney’s Aladdin will soon be following in the footsteps of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Disney’s The Lion King and Disney’s Waiting for Godot by taking its place on the Great White Way. Details on the Broadway adaptation of Aladdin are being kept very hush-hush, but plans are in motion to move the show into the New Amsterdam Theater where fellow Disney cash cow Mary Poppins will celebrate its final performance on March 3rd. Or at least so says two Broadway theater executives who wish to remain anonymous. (Yo, Jafar and Iago — stop playing because we know it’s you.) Disney has yet to comment.
